This claim's own source names no external recipient. Separate public reporting suggests some of who the money likely went to — not confirmed, not summed into the total above.

• SK Hynix → ASMLhypothesis

  $7.9B (estimate) — Record order: SK hynix committed KRW 11.9 trillion (~$7.9B) for approximately 30 ASML EUV lithography scanners through end-2027, split between the Cheongju M15X fab (HBM) and the Yongin cluster (advanced DRAM) -- this may overlap with rather than sit fully on top of the already-tracked $38.1B Yongin/Cheongju combined investment.

• SK Hynix → SK ecoplanthypothesis

  EPC affiliate handling engineering-procurement-construction work on the Yongin semiconductor cluster and its support facilities (cogeneration plant, industrial-complex development).

• SK Hynix → Techcross Water & Energyhypothesis

  $35.0M (estimate) — Letter of intent worth approximately 50 billion won (~$35M) for Phase 2 wastewater-treatment EPC work at the Yongin fab -- an LOI, not yet a signed contract.

• SK Hynix → TEMC CNShypothesis

  $18.7M — Confirmed KRW 25.25B (~$18.7M) contract, signed June 26 2026, to supply/install the Central Chemical Supply System (CCSS) for the Yongin fab.
